::nesting...maybe.::

The kids and I went shopping yesterday afternoon while Dada worked on Grandma & Papa Snowman's house (they're remodeling their upstairs), and they were SO good! They were so sweet and helpful all day, and it was so nice! Port and Chloe were so excited to pick out bows for new baby, and they were all just so good. Well, Bubb wasn't so good. He kept wanting to get out of his stroller (we were in a "don't touch" store) so I had to buckle him in which he REALLY didn't like "eee like buckow, Moooom!!"


When we got home, it was snowing and none of us wanted to go anywhere, so we thought we better go through all the old baby clothes in the storage. We kinda made a big mess of the downstairs. We sorted out all the sizes and filled up a couple of goodwill boxes.

We put the girl clothes in different boxes according to size. It was pretty fun to see them all again. I remembered most of them and her wearing them. Every time I'd pull something out that I thought was tiny, it would end up being a 12 month size. So when we got to the 0-3 month sizes, they looked WAY teeny...and cute! So we made a pile of the stuff she'd wear first and took it all upstairs to wash and hang in her room.


And our donation boxes...mostly full of baby boy clothes. It was a little sad. We know this is our last baby and we're happy about that, but somehow it was still sad to know we'll never need baby boy clothes again, and we'd never see them again either. Just kinda sad.


On another note...
Carrie & Sarah, these are some winter bunting outfit things that we had for Chloe, but I'm pretty sure they never got used. They're 0-6 month size, and our baby will be too big before it's cold enough to use them, so if you girls want these for your girls, you're welcome to them! Otherwise, we'll probably just goodwill them.


The End

Isn't it fun pulling out the baby clothes again! I bet that was hard getting rid of the old baby boy stuff...sad. Thanks for the baby buntings, but Ellie already has 3 (which I guess it good considering the amount of snow we got in the last 2 days. Yuck, right!!)

Hey Amy! This is Cami (Carlson) Walker. That is so exciting that you are having another girl! I remember how cute Chole was when she was just a todler and you were in our ward. Anyhoo I saw that you were getting rid of all your baby boy clothes and thought I might share my happy news with you.... I am having a boy! My due date is Feb. 26th. So if you don't have anyone in mind to donate those clothes to I would be more than happy to help you out there :D Well I am glad to see your family doing so well and wish you luck on your pregnancy and your last baby!
